Subject: [Qemu-devel] Is it possible to use qemu to call a non-native library?
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 01:30:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTim1Na4mVmAt-s2RMXQXBSUh__M6fC5vihryxYx-@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I am new to QEMU and have a question.
I know QEMU can be used to run a program (user mode emulation) or boot
a system (full system emulation). But can I use QEMU to load from a
program a shared library (such as .so file in linux) which was built
for a different CPU target?
For instance, I have a program prog_a, which run on one type of CPU.
prog_a needs a dynamic library b.so. But the b.so at hand is meant
for a different CPU (non-native). To use b.so, can I do this: prog_a
--> QEMU emulation --> b.so? In this sense, the emulation is done at
the API/library level, not at the program or system level.
Is it possible?I am willing to change QEMU code to do this.
Thanks.
